Last Saturday we visited the Tower of London and saw the Tower Bridge. The Tower of London was built in 1066. The Tower was both a royal residence and a prison. Within the Tower of London, we enjoyed seeing the Royal Armory and really enjoyed taking a look at the Crown Jewels. We also learned about methods of torture in the tower.

| We enjoyed seeing an enactment from history, and got some pictures afterwards. Here I am with the queen. |
 |
| Here's Stephen with Henry Tudor. |
 |
| Here we are in the Royal Armory. We got to see armor made for kings and princes from hundreds and hundreds of years ago! |
